I was pretty close in guessing though, it just happened too late to help Gordon, he moved up in positions but not in points. Right now it is probably looking like Johnson again, Martinsville is another critical race, so easy to lose laps.

Of course I pick Jimmie. He leads in top 5's & 10's. And other than 2006 he is averaging a better avg finish than any other year of his career. (NASCAR.com)
Charlotte ~ 6 career wins, so he knows how to get it done here.
Kansas ~ out of 12 races he has 2 wins and 10 tops 10's. Pretty dang good!
Martinsville ~ 5.8 avg finish through 22 races there.
Texas ~ Only 1 win but 13 top 10's out of 18 races for a 9.7 avg finish.
Phoenix ~ 4 wins and a 5.4 avg finish. 15 top 10's out of 18 races.
Homestead ~ no wins and only a 13.5 avg finish but 7 top 10's out of 11 races. And how different would those stats be if it wasnt the last race of the year and he had nothing to lose...?
I dont think Hamlin or Kesuckski will have what it takes down the stretch to finish it off. They always have issues.
Everyone -including myself- has written Gordon off this year. I think that was due to his "bad" season.
Well he's not looking so bad now is he, lol.
Jeff knows how to get it done, period. Being 42 back right now will be tough to overcome but not impossible. If Jimmie slips I think Gordon will be in the running to win it all! (But he wont )

Umm, really? You called that mess?

I am still holding out hope for my boy Smoke, who was, I will remind everyone, leading Sunday before he put it on the roof (and on everyone else's roof, as well...).

I think the 48 is probably the favorite right now, though. JJ has been there before, has the best equipment, and is a proven driver.

But, don't count the 2 out just yet. I know Will does not like him, and he is far from my favorite, but Keselowski has shown to be pretty good this year, and he just might be able to stay consistent enough to win another race and stay up there.

I really don't think the 11 can pass Johnson. Hamlin has shown that he sort of loses something down the stretch.

So, if I were putting money donw right now, I would put it on Jimmie Johnson to win, Keselowski #2, Hamlin #3, Stewart #4.

There usually always is a big wreck, I just thought that it would have happened a few laps sooner. I agree with Will, and hope, that Keselowski and Hamlin choke. All it takes is for them 2 and JJ to have a bad race and it is anyone's championship again.

This NASCAR forum is a small group and is sometimes slow-going, but I think this is the tightest knit group on Beckett. We always welcome the new members (unless they are rude or try to skirt around the sites' rules)!

Since I didn't say it before...
Welcome to the Beckett Racing Forum! I hope to see more from you as time progresses. If you have ANY questions about the site (any part of it), feel free to ask. You can PM me directly or post a thread here and most of us will be happy to answer questions or help you out in any way.
